INSTRUCTIONS:
Players are given a locomotor movement to perform over and around hoops spaced on the floor while the music is played. When the music stops, the students step inside the nearest empty hoop. Remove 1 hoop each round.
TEACHING HINTS:
1 hoop per student on floor
For a social aspect to the activity, specify they must get in a hoop with one other person when the music stops. Give them a few seconds to ask their partner a question or just deliver a greeting. Increase the number of students required to get inside a hoop.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Students begin work with a partner at one of five or six stations in the gym or on a field outside. The stations are arranged in a circle or rectangle around the area. Each station has a sign with five or six exercises or stretches to perform. On the start signal, one partner begins the first exercise or stretch on the card, while the other partner jogs around the perimeter of the stations. After the jogging partner returns, the partners switch roles and move down the list of activities on the cards.
TEACHING HINTS:
Assign partners to a station to begin.
The teacher can change the locomotor movement for the students going around the cones. For example, in addition to jogging, students can do carioca steps, slide, run backward, skip, or hurdle around the stations. The signs at the stations might include stretches, jumping jacks, crab kicks, treadmills, sit-ups, push-ups, body twists, and other variations. Continuous music can be used to motivate students. Stability balls and medicine balls can be added to the racetrack stations.
